Round 1
Lentz strikes first with a knee in the clinch and follows up with a
sweeping right hand. He ties up and takes Mitsuoka’s back on the
feet, then drags him to the floor. Mitsuoka is quickly back on his
feet, only to be slammed down again. The sequence repeats, this
time with Lentz scoring with another right hand before hitting his
third takedown of the first three minutes. Lentz stands and
Mitsuoka pops him with an upkick. Mitsuoka tries to sweep but
instead has his back taken as he stands, then gets roughly slammed
down again. Lentz sinks in his hooks and flattens out Mitsuoka,
first looking for a rear-naked choke and then unloading with lefts
and rights. Mitsuoka isn’t offering anything in return; he taps out
after about 20 unanswered strikes, but referee Tim Mills is already
on his way in. Nik Lentz gets the TKO win in his featherweight
debut at 3:45 of the first round.

Round 1
Pague puts a right hand on Camus’ cheek and flicks a leg kick
outside. A jab from Pague is countered by Camus, but Pague keeps
coming forward and lands a nice left hook. Camus catches a kick and
drives Pague to the mat, putting Pague’s head against the fence.
With Camus in his full guard, Pague throws up his left leg and
sneaks his ankle under his right knee for a loose triangle. Pague
keeps trying to tighten it as he throws punches and elbows from the
bottom. Camus is doing well to defend, posturing up in Pague’s
guard to try and loosen the choke. With 90 seconds left in the
round, Pague loses the triangle and Camus drops some elbows of his
own. Pague is sliced open along the right side of his forehead as
he tries for an unsuccessful omoplata. Camus sits up and drops a
few more hammerfists just before the horn.

Round 2
Pague catches a kick and trips Camus down, but the Duke Roufus
pupil doesn’t stay there long. Back on the feet, Camus is clipped
with a left hook as he shoots in and drives Pague to the ground.
Camus works from half-guard, trying to pass to side control on
Pague’s left side. Pague connects with a few elbows from the
bottom, but it’s Camus getting the better with punches to the body
and head. Camus passes to side control with two minutes left in the
round, but Pague quickly regains guard. Once again scooting Pague
toward the fence, Camus drops ground-and-pound but takes a few
stiff elbows in return. Pague gets to his feet just before the end
of the round, though Camus stays glued to him and lands knees in
the clinch.

Round 3
Pague gets a quick takedown and attaches himself to Camus’ back,
cinching up a body triangle and hunting for the rear-naked choke.
After two minutes struggling to extract himself from the position,
Camus twists around and finds himself in Pague’s open guard. Camus
nearly steps into full mount but gets stuffed back to half-guard at
the last second. Ninety seconds left in the final round and it’s
Camus sitting up and dropping hard punches. Camus finally gets full
mount and unloads with some nasty right hands to Pague’s face.
Camus sinks in both hooks and rolls Pague over to try for the RNC
with 30 seconds left. Camus gets the choke with one arm, but Pague
guts it out and this one is going to the judges.

Round 1
Perez lands an inside leg kick on his southpaw opponent and then
crumples Stone with a crisp right hand in an exchange. Stone hits
the mat face-first, but quickly wakes up and rolls over. Perez
knocks him out and then wakes him up again with some more hard
punches on the ground, and this one’s over. Referee Herb Dean pries
Stone away and calls an end to this one, giving Erik Perez the
knockout victory just 17 seconds into the first round.

Round 1
Hamman gets straight to work with an inside leg kick and a jab, and
Kuiper responds by coming forward and finding the range with
punches of his own. A pair of nice body kicks from Hamman is
followed by a stiff left jab, then another. Hamman misses with a
step-in knee, connects with the follow-up punch and a pair of low
kicks. Kuiper is trying to trap the taller Hamman against the fence
to unload with a punching combo, but he’s only grazed with the
shots so far. Hamman changes levels as if to shoot, but Kuiper gets
the body lock and dumps Hamman on his head at the base of the
fence. Hamman posts up and stands, eating a knee from Kuiper on his
way up. A nice right hand in the pocket has Hamman is backing up.
Kuiper lands a strong leg kick that stumbles Hamman, then zaps the
American with a big right hook. Kuiper is finding his target with
punches now, and even though Hamman is firing back, he’s clearly in
trouble. Hamman’s punches don’t look to have much behind them, as
Kuiper just walks through them and slugs him with another wide
right. Fifty seconds left and Kuiper lands a left high kick, stuffs
a shot and covers up to block Hamman’s arm punches. The horn sounds
and Hamman barely makes it back to his stool, as his leg is clearly
still damaged.

Round 2
Kuiper instantly targets the left leg of Hamman, who is showing
some serious guts by even coming out for the second round. Hamman
is still throwing punches, even connecting with a decent right
hand, but they don’t have much behind them. Kuiper’s shots, on the
other hand, still have plenty of pop. A right hand sends Hamman
backward, and Kuiper catches him with a left hook under the chin
that sends Hamman to the deck at the base of the fence. Kuiper
tries to polish him off, but somehow Hamman stays alive and gets
back to his feet. This is getting ugly now, as Hamman is barely
staying up while Kuiper connects with punch after punch. Finally, a
Kuiper uppercut seals the deal and referee Adam Martinez calls a
merciful end to the bout. The official time is 2:16 of the second
round.

Round 1
Hayden grabs hold of Bermudez and tries to clinch up, but Bermudez
shakes him off and just misses with a tight hook. A leaping knee
from Hayden misses, allowing Bermudez to grab the leg and
single-leg his fellow wrestler to the ground. Hayden finds a small
gap to escape to his feet and starts throwing head kick as soon as
he’s vertical again. He ducks a left hand from Bermudez and shoots,
gets sprawled on and touches Bermudez with a left hook. Hayden
shoots on another single-leg and Bermudez sprawls again, this time
grabbing a front headlock. Bermudez spins to the back and Hayden
rolls for a leg lock. They go back to the feet, where Hayden
catches Bermudez coming in with a hard knee to the face. Bermudez
hits the canvas and Hayden leaps on his back, immediately looking
for a rear-naked choke with Bermudez’s left arm trapped. Hayden is
awfully high on the back and Bermudez escapes out the backdoor.
Hayden switches to an armbar and gets dropped on his head, winding
up underneath Bermudez with 70 seconds remaining in the first. They
scramble back up and Bermudez stuns a leaning Hayden with a front
kick. Hayden dives for a leg and Bermudez locks up a choke as he
stuffs the shot. It’s deep, and the standing guillotine forces
Hayden to tap out with just seconds left.

Round 1
Lawrence backs the boxer up with a side kick and moves around the
perimeter as Holloway stalks from the center. Front kicks from
Lawrence now, and he steps off after an overhand right. The rangy
Holloway pumps his jab, has a high kick blocked, lands a kick low.
Holloway gets Lawrence against the fence and throws an ill-timed
low kick which catches Lawrence square on the cup. Holloway
apologizes immediately and the featherweights resume after Lawrence
takes a minute seconds to recover. Lawrence tries to push inside
and gets tagged with a left hook, then another as Lawrence shoots.

responds with punches to the body, then stuffs a shot from
Lawrence. Holloway tries to swing over the top and gets pushed away
with a body kick. Lawrence dips in with a single left hand and
moves back out, prompting more boos. Ninety seconds to go and
Lawrence shoots from a mile out, and Holloway easily turns it away.
Holloway has closed the gap now and lands a clean right hand, then
a knee to the guts against the fence. A one-two over the top clips
Lawrence; seconds later, a blistering left to the body has Lawrence
seated at the base of the fence, covering up. Holloway smells blood
and goes wild with punches, forcing referee Josh Rosenthal into
action at 4:49 of round two.

Round 1
The middleweights come out throwing at the horn, Roberts attacking
with kicks and Okami throwing counter punches. Roberts’ reach is
allowing him to stick some good jabs and even a hard left hook in
one exchange. Okami decides to tie up and pushes Roberts into the
fence with an underhook. Roberts tries to escape and gives up his
back, but is able to resist Okami’s suplex from behind. Okami works
for the takedown and eventually drags Roberts to the ground midway
through the round, where Roberts turns to put “Thunder” in his
closed guard. Okami in half-guard with 90 seconds left, flattening
Roberts and working to pass to side control. Okami improves his
position with 65 seconds left and drops a few short right hands as
he tries to pin Roberts’ arm for the crucifix. Full mount for Okami
with 25 seconds to go, and Roberts rolls to give up his back. Okami
tries to finish with punches before the horn with ref Herb Dean
hovering nearby, but he runs out of time.

Round 2
Roberts connects with some more hard left hands in the opening
seconds of the round, but Okami again closes the gap and drags him
to the floor after a minute. Roberts tries a guillotine which
doesn’t work, though it allows him to get back to his feet. Okami
puts him right back on the ground with a double-leg and soon works
his way back to full mount. Roberts goes belly-down again, this
time with half a round remaining, and Okami thumps away with
constant right hands. The punches are nearly all blocked by
Roberts’ forearm, but referee Dean nonetheless steps in to rescue
the American. Roberts hops up immediately afterward, but he’s not
protesting the stoppage. After back-to-back losses, Yushin Okami
gets back on track with a TKO win at 3:09 of round two.

takes Shields 30 seconds to whip “Short Fuse” to the ground.

to crank a kimura on Herman’s left arm. Herman gets his arm loose
and Shields punishes him with a few horizontal elbows from the same
position. Back in Herman’s closed guard, Shields drops a few elbows
and punches to the body, while Herman throws elbows of his own from
underneath. With 40 seconds to go and with the Denver crowd getting
restless again, Shields passes to half-guard. Herman stuffs him
back and throws another elbow before the horn, and the crowd lets
them hear it when the round ends.

as he surprisingly tosses the Cesar Gracie product to the ground.
It’s short lived, as Shields quickly stands back up and drags
Herman to the canvas. More half-guard grinding from Shields, then
laying on Herman from closed guard. Herman does his best to elbow
from the bottom, but it’s tough to get an angle on the strikes with
Shields’ face buried in his midsection. Shields makes some effort
to throw strikes in the waning seconds of the bout, but it’s not
enough to appease the audience, which erupts with boos at the final
horn.

Round 1
Cerrone comes out aggressive but he gets caught with a hard,
left-handed counter. Guillard blitzes and tries to finish the
“Cowboy” off with a knee that misses and some follow-up punches

him crashing to the mat. Cerrone goes to throw more hands on the
ground, but there’s no need -- referee Josh Rosenthal is already on
his way in to rescue the fallen Guillard. The short but wild fight
ends in a stunning knockout for Donald Cerrone after 76
